Dollard Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The Dollart Route is very well signposted. You can get on at different points and travel in both directions. There are always parking spaces from which you can start. The route can of course also be shortened.

Dollart Dike Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Actually, the highlight should be a section of the route that describes the cycle path to the left of the Ems along the dollart to the Dutch border. Seen in this way, the route is definitely attractive for cyclists and, incidentally, also easy to drive on.

Ditzum Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Ditzum is a small, beautiful town on the Ems at Dollart. There is a small harbor with a ferry connection to Petkum and to the harbor in Emden with a further journey to Delfzil.
In the town itself there is a mill and there are also many restaurants.

Fish House Ditzum

Highlight • Restaurant

The village of Ditzum was founded in the 8th century on a natural drainage trough. After the dyke was built (from 1000) the construction of a sewer became necessary. The first traditional wooden sewer construction took place in 1546. In 1752 the first massive sewer construction with a width of 6.30 m was built. Today's sewer was built in 1890/91 with a width of over 7.00 m. Back then, the sewer was used as a transport route for the brickworks and the sawmill. As part of the new port construction in 1987/88, the sluice structure was renewed and technically brought up to date so that the sluice port is still fully functional today.
